‘Face with tears of joy’ (1F602), a face laughing so hard that
it cries, is one of the most popular emojis on many platforms.
This paper analyzes the use of this pictograph in a corpus of
dyadic WhatsApp chats using digital conversation analysis.
In particular, it compares the use of this emoji on WhatsApp
with the sequence organization of laughter in face-to-face interaction. Two patterns of use are found: when placed at the
end of the utterance, the emoji ‘face with tears of joy’ usually
signals the ‘laughable’ and indexes an invitation to laugh,
while the acceptance of the invitation is usually performed by
repeated ‘face with tears of joy’ emojis standing alone. Besides contributing to literature on the interactional functions
of emojis, these findings have implications in training automatic emoji classifiers or in improving social media marketing and chatbot systems. [-]
